“Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.”

— Imogen Cunningham

“This wallpaper is killing me. One of us has to go”

Oscar Wilde

I travel a lot for work and have stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years. After a while, they begin to look and feel the same. Some lack soul, some are quirky, most are anonymous and hard to remember. I take photos of the rooms and from the rooms, challenging myself to make them interesting.
Or whatever.

Cheap Manc Hotel. If you are feeling brave and adventurous. Internet available.

Nottingham for a week. Hotel was standard and anonymous...the view from the window of my room -the bad-lands -was interesting enough...

I soon discovered I was not alone in this God-forsaken hotel...Jurys Inn Nottingham UK

Hotel at the end of the universe. Great views.

Hotel Dubai. Early morning couldn't sleep so took photos...

One of the nicer hotels...

Zurich July 2019

Hotel room Zurich. Standard stuff.

View somewhere from a hotel somewhere...

Hotel Grand Rapids USA. It was a horrible hotel. Deadly quiet, lots of muzac, like something from a David Lynch movie but nowhere as cool.

July 2019 #2

Night view from bog-standard hotel Zurich July 2019...did see a naked something in the room across the way...too fast to see...just saw a piece of flesh nip across the room...

Designer hotel Bonn, Germany. An over-designed themed hotel for...fuck knows..Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine. The light and shadows caught my attention as I waited for the lift.

View from hotel window Lviv, Ukraine. Man walking baby to calm it down while talking on the phone...you see the world and its dramas live from hotel windows...

View from Dubai hotel...soulless city...

Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

The radiation is contained but the damage can’t be undone.
The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is like a disaster national park, where the remnants of villages and towns serve as attractions while nature slowly returns.

Roaming the deserted streets and buildings, one can’t help feeling like a time traveller exploring the world of 1986 when whole communities were deserted from one day to the next. The attraction to explore and sift through the wreckage looking for clues of the life that was, is strong, and compelling.
